Ingredients

Procedure

  • 0. Peel the pumpkin and reserve the peels. Bring a liter of water to a boil in a pot, add the pumpkin peels and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 30-40 minutes to extract all the flavor, then strain the broth and set aside.
  • 1. Dice the pumpkin flesh and do the same with the potatoes and onion. In a large pot, heat a little extra virgin olive oil and add the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent.
  • 2. Add the pumpkin and potatoes, stir, and cook for a few minutes. Add the curry powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, and stir well. Pour in the strained pumpkin broth until the vegetables are covered and cook over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin and potatoes are tender.
  • 3. Use an immersion blender to puree everything into a smooth cream. If the puree is too thick, you can add more broth.
  • 4. Prepare the chickpeas: Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Season with a drizzle of oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook the chickpeas in an air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for about 10 minutes, until crispy.
  • 5. Pour the passata into bowls, top with the crunchy chickpeas and croutons. Finish with a drizzle of oil, a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley, and, if desired, more curry powder or paprika for garnish.
